BEAR 2018 Summer School Graduate Mobility Grants

This year’s BEAR Network Summer School Mobility Grants allow graduate students to travel to Montreal to participate in the first BEAR Summer School untitled “Between the EU and Russia: Transnational ‘Soft Power’ and Societal Activism,” to be held in June 18-23, 2018.

The grants are available to full-time thesis students enrolled in a graduate degree program at a BEAR partner university who are under the supervision of a network member. A limited number of grants are available on a competitive basis. Exceptional advanced undergraduates will also be considered.
